About
Miguel Lorenzo Uy (born 1993) lives and works in the Philippines.
As society continues to rapidly evolve, his artistic practice follows the phenomena that goes with it as well, currently exploring the role and paradoxes of technology, media, and globalization within the struggles of individuality, identity, and independence. The themes found in his work stem from the society in which he lives in, forming questions that address immediate concerns with regards to (religious) beliefs and conventions, (media) consumption and production, and the volatile possibilities in the future that have yet to unfold.
His works shift between different mediums: from painting to photography, sculpture to video, and digital to installation. Currently, he has held five solo exhibitions and a number of group exhibitions as well, all within the fringes of Metro Manila.
